Adversity

The Midnight Gang, Book 1

De: Ren Browne

Narrado por: Daphne Winters, Rowan Hayes

A gunslinger. A gambler. And the girl they stole.

After the murder of her father, Cora runs away into the unforgiving Old West, determined to hunt down those responsible. But a suspicious small town in the Arizona Territory offers little mercy to a young woman alone.

In a twist of fate, she's rescued by Aiden and Cypress—two outlaws as enigmatic as they are deadly. Their bond is forged by trust, loyalty, and temptation that simmers just beneath the surface. As they help Cora navigate the untamed world they call home, she soon finds they have far more to teach her than just simple survival.

With trouble on their heels and her heart pulled in unexpected directions, Cora must choose between returning to the perceived safety of what she knows or finding an entirely new place in the dangerous life they already share.

Adversity is a fast-paced, frontier romance where justice comes at a cost—and love doesn't always come in pairs. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Really enjoyed this!

I’m a sucker for a historical western romance (especially one that’s spicy!) I loved the characters and it was tied up well at the end! There were some odd pauses in the narration that felt a little choppy, but other than that the performance was good!

No god out here, baby. Just us ❤️‍🔥

I read Adversity when it first came out last year, and absolutely fell in love with Cora, Cypress, & Aiden!! It was so amazing to listen to the banter come to life! 😍 Will absolutely be listening to this again.

• MMF Cowboy Romance
• Old West
• Teacher / Student Dynamic
• Touch her & 💀
• Age Gap
• Why Choose?

Ren not only created a story that pulled me in from the very first page, but she also created characters that I truly fell in love with. The chemistry between Aiden, Cora, and Cypress is SO good!

Highly, HIGHLY recommend to anyone that wants to immerse themselves in the Wild West and get tangled up in a steamy MMF love story. I could not put it down!

Thank you for gracing us with this gem, Ren! This is absolutely one of my favorite things l've read to date.

Favorite quotes:
Cora: "It's Cora. Please, tell the devil who sent you." Aiden: "No God out here, baby. Just us."
Cypress: "Oh, you know what they say little bird, adversity makes for strange bedfellows."
